Could he abandon everything now, just like that?

I expressed, politely, the hope that the other attitude, the revolutionary one, would not be abandoned.

To one side of him was the park, green in the morning sun, with sharp, fleeting shadows; to the other side was the Frick, white and austere, as if abandoned to the dead.

His quest for objects did not abate amidst the greenery.

On the other hand, these initial criteria should also include provisions allowing for the list to be abolished.

The international exemption for aircraft kerosene must be abolished as quickly as possible.

The fact that there was now a purpose to his being Paul Auster – a purpose that was becoming more and more important to him – served as a kind of moral justification for the charade and absolved him of having to defend his lie.

Before he had a chance to absorb the woman's presence, to describe her to himself and form his impressions, she was talking to him, forcing him to respond.

Its detractors tell you how it abuses its Arab population and, to a lesser extent, Jewish immigrants from North Africa and the Orient.

Whatever it was could never be found; it was the smell of growth, they had long ago decided, at Gala, the process of decay and regeneration so accelerated, brought so close together that it produced the reek of death-and-life, all at once.

She had taken out of storage the furniture and family possessions that had been nothing but a nuisance to her when they left England together twenty years ago, and, putting them in place, inevitably had accepted the life the arrangement of such objects provided for, and her comfortable private income made possible.

Nobody knew what it was for... a security measure, some were satisfied to assume, while others accepted it as vaguely appropriate, the symbol of progress inseparable from all industrial fairs and agricultural shows and therefore somehow relevant to any public display.

She was an anthropologist, and Bray accepted this as an explanation for her passion for arranging excursions, on which she carried her baby tied on her back, African style.

I couldn't possibly accept it.

"I can't accept such a sacrifice from you."

We can not accept that situation. The first reading provided a remedy.

We must accept that.

We can not, however, accept the concept of 'economic significance' for the rightholder.

In light of this situation, we find it difficult to accept a number of unilateral proposals that were put forward.

If this interpretation required knowledge on Stillman's part, then Quinn would accept this knowledge as an article of faith, at least for the time being.

The final paper was passed off to the outside world as the work of Zakaria Mohieddin, Nasser's most thoughtful (in Western eyes), reasonable deputy, and accepted at face value by intelligence analysts of the State Department, the C.I.A. and, presumably, similar agencies of other governments."

And in a way she did know: because it was for them a code so deeply accepted that it had never been discussed...

being accepted with such immediate casual friendliness by everyone was rather like being forced to learn a foreign language by finding oneself alone among people who spoke nothing else:

It was just like Marlow. It was accepted in silence.

As far as I know, Madam President, lies are not accepted in any parliament.

Using the default SA account, users can access the SQL Server database through the Access project without any additional security requirements.

You can change the security mode for accessing the SQL Server database on a computer running Windows NT.

There's no other candidate – since he is the only one who accompanies Don Quixote on all his adventures.

It is accompanied by the further reflection (partly proud, mostly bitter) that we Jews seem to have a genius for finding the heart of the crisis.

If you are familiar with Microsoft Excel PivotTable reports and want to work with the data in Excel, there are two ways to accomplish this.

This man had verily accomplished something.

There is currently no simple way for the system administrator to create new logon accounts to the locally installed SQL Server database except by using SQL Tools or Transact-SQL (TSQL) commands.

An indignant librarian, a middle-aged woman whose face is so hot it is almost fragrant with indignation, demands of me in a superdistinguished all but Oxonian accent, "How do you account for it!"

The only product of any significance is canned tomatoes, but even they account for no more than 7 -% of the market.

Quinn suspected that Stillman's red notebook contained answers to the questions that had been accumulating in his mind, and he began to plot various stratagems for stealing it from the old man.

On July 12, after the raid, Israel was accused of giving comfort to the reactionaries of Rhodesia and South Africa by its demonstration of military superiority and its use of Western arms and techniques, upsetting the balance between poor and rich countries, disturbing the work of men of good will in Paris who were trying to create a new climate and to treat the countries of the Third World as equals and partners.

Israel, which receives us impartially, is accustomed to strange arrivals.

His body was not accustomed to this new freedom, and for the first few blocks he walked at the old shuffling pace.

He was so accustomed to effacing himself in the hours of discussion of constitutional law and political tactics (a white man, an outsider offering impersonal service for whatever it was worth)...

Harry, whose insides were aching with hunger, jumped off his bed and seized it.

Wish they could see famous Harry Potter now, he thought savagely, as he spread manure on the flower beds, his back aching, sweat running down his face.

"You do not achieve peace from history," he says.

If we do not achieve our objective of resolving this dispute, then I fear the WTO will slip on a banana skin.

There is a proper balanced way to achieve the rights that everybody here wants to see.

For my part, I feel that the negotiations were balanced and that they open the way for achieving a sustainable market.

We therefore had to meet these two fundamental objectives and I sincerely believe that we are close to achieving this.

At last, Auster gave a little shrug, which seemed to acknowledge that they had come to an impasse.

He said not a word as he made his way to his seat, nor did he acknowledge Quinn's presence.

The letter was never acknowledged.

But as I stood on this hillside, I foresaw that in the blinding sunshine of that land I would become acquainted with a flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil of a rapacious and pitiless folly.

The body acted almost exactly as the voice had: machine-like, fitful, alternating between slow and rapid gestures, rigid and yet expressive, as if the operation were out of control, not quite corresponding to the will that lay behind it.

It acts queerly on my nerves (through the feet, as it were), because I feel that a good part of this dust must be ground out of human bone.

If necessary, the Commission will act at once.

And I'll be instructing the State Prosecutor to act when I'd rather not, too.

At the Pettigrews' house that night, Dando's voice came from the group round someone basting a sheep on the home-made spit:... damn all except go fishing with his secretary acting ghillie...

Every day the coast looked the same, as though we had not moved; but we passed various places – trading places – with names like Gran' Bassam Little Popo, names that seemed to belong to some sordid farce acted in front of a sinister backcloth.

He is delighted to be here, and he is suffering the one activates the other.

So it is essential that we activate this right fully.

Also, if you remove a field and later add the field back to the layout, the same items are again hidden.

If you remove a field and later add the field back to the layout, the same items are again hidden.

On my asking who Mr. Kurtz was, he said he was a first-class agent; and seeing my disappointment at this information, he added slowly, laying down his pen, 'He is a very remarkable person.'

You're driving too far west, Fred, he added, pointing at a compass on the dashboard.

Seeing the shocked look on Harry's face, Ron added, It doesn't hurt them – you've just got to make them really dizzy so they can't find their way back to the gnomeholes.

And yet he goes on to say, Quinn added, that Cid Hamete Benengali's is the only true version of Don Quixote's story.

The administrator of the SQL Server can also add additional security by changing the default SA account password.

If more data is available, you can add fields to the chart.

For example, if the chart summarizes sales revenue, and the source data also includes sales quantities, you might add the Quantity field as a data field to summarize both revenue and quantity of products sold.

This would add a new row field named Promotions 2 above the Promotions row field with two members: Group1 and Other.

You can add fields to the view, move or remove fields, and filter, sort, and group data.

You can add new filter fields or move existing fields to the filter area.

It allows you to precisely select the data that will be displayed, to specify the order or arrangement of the data, and to modify or add information.

We in Parliament would like to add a third category covering organic products that also comply with environmental and animal protection criteria.

Add a PivotTable list to a data access page

You can use style sheets to insure that the XML-based Web pages on your intranet or Website are consistent and present a uniform appearance without having to add HTML to each page.

They can move the fields that are displayed in the row, column, and data area of the PivotTable list, or add or remove fields from the list.

A young woman was in and out the Bayleys' house, sometimes adding to, sometimes carrying off with her the many children who played there.

Adding and removing nested custom groups

Adding and removing fields

Now truck fenders are rusting there, the twentieth century adding its crumbling metal to the great Jerusalem dust mixture.

Amendment No-6 makes more radical changes to the guideline maps, adding new links and creating new categories of ports.

Each filter you apply is added to the ones you already have in effect.

When you create the first custom group for a field, a custom group field is automatically added as the field's parent.

I would remind you that Mr Cornelissen's report has been added to the agenda for Tuesday.

It looked as though it had once been a large stone pigsty, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several storeys high and so crooked it looked as though it was held up by magic (which, Harry reminded himself, it probably was).

When you design a chart for other users, you can restrict the user's ability to change the layout of the chart by preventing fields from being added and moved.

The porter addressed both men as Mukwayi, the respectful term became servile during the long time when it was used indiscriminately for any white man.

He addresses me again in Yiddish.

There are two other points I would like to address.

There are a number of key points that I would like to address before concluding.

Out of a kind of jealousy of the new young men from Britain and America who were so careful to show their lack of colour-feeling by avoiding tainted words and addressing people by polite forms, he ecklessly used the old settler vocabulary that reflected an attitude he had had no part of, ever.

Quinn could not imagine himself addressing a word to this person.

Addressing the OAS, Amin had provoked laughter and applause among the delegates by saying that the hostages were as comfortable as they could be in the circumstances surrounded by explosives.

Mrs. Wentz had the tone of voice that sounds as if the speaker is addressing noone but himself.

He had read Quinn's old work, he had admired it, he had been looking forward to more.

I admit that, Commissioner, and also thank the Commission for improving its proposal compared to the original text.

I must admit I see the question of a world market orientation rather differently from the way it was presented a moment ago.

I have to admit that I had serious misgivings during the first reading of the directive.

of course, it's very hard to convict anyone because no Muggle would admit their key keeps shrinking – they'll insist they just keep losing it.

To be sure, many Israelis refuse to admit that this historic uneasiness has not been eliminated.

She gave a small, self-questioning shrug, admitting the glibness of another kind of daily talk in another time.

The decisions were adopted unanimously.

Also adopted was Directive 96/23 on supervisory measures for implementing this tougher policy.

Harry stood in the kitchen, clutching the mop for support as Uncle Vernon advanced on him, a demonic glint in his tiny eyes.

Six black men advanced in a file, toiling up the path. They walked erect and slow, balancing small baskets full of earth on their heads, and the clink kept time with their footsteps.

to advance the cause of universal equality;

What does remain most puzzling," he says, "is why it was thought that the imparting of such lessons could advance the interests of the United States, or even contribute to the welfare of the Egyptian people."

For two weeks this routine did not vary. The old man would wander through the streets of the neighborhood, advancing slowly, sometimes by the merest of increments, pausing, moving on again, pausing once more, as though each step had to be weighed and measured before it could take its place among the sum total of steps.

It could be that Auster had so much work he didn't need to advertise.

We step into the street and my friend David Shahar, whose chest is large, takes a deep breath and advises me to do the same.

He spent a great deal of time going back and forth to London to advise them when they conferred with the Colonial Office, and to do what he could to smooth the way for various delegations that came to petition against the old constitution and to negotiate independence for their country.

This is an issue which affects aspects of everyday life.

It affects people and it reaches them at different times and on different issues.

The delicacy of the light also affects me.

The result of one conditional filter does not affect the result of another.

The groups you create do not affect source data.

If you choose to edit the connection file, remember that all other pages that use the connection file will also be affected by the changes you make.

I will bear in mind however, as these debates are of especial interest to me, that Spain has been particularly affected.

Her big British eyes are affronted and her bosom has risen with indignation.

Tatu agrees with the Archbishop about the Russians.

Parliament agreed to urgent procedure for 22 March

Perhaps Alexander Solzhenitsyn agrees with him in part.

Most of the dinner guests agree that Russia's internal difficulties are so grave it may have to draw away from Syria.

The Green Group fully agrees with Mr Spencer that we must preserve this proposal for a CO2 tax.

I agree with you.

"Definitely dodgy" agreed George.

Would it be possible to persuade others to agree with what he said, even though they did not believe him?

Whoever knows the Middle East will agree that such a quest was the political equivalent of the search for the philosophical stone."

I do not agree with him at all.

He had even imagined the conversation that would follow: he, suavely diffident as the stranger praised the book, and then, with great reluctance and modesty, agreeing to autograph the title page, since you insist.

Is it agreed?

The sum of 12 million ECU has been made available for possible initiatives agreed with Cyprus for projects to promote confidence-building measures.

I should just like to confirm that the Commissioner and the French Minister for Europe are both agreed on that point.

Now, we should aim to get in a few good compliments at dinner.

It aims at the heart of the matter, as Agenda 2000 negotiations have reached a critical stage.

As neither Dudley nor the hedge was in any way hurt, Aunt Petunia knew he hadn't really done magic, but he still had to duck as she aimed a heavy blow at his head with the soapy frying pan.

Would that not be better than total harmonization, which is fundamentally a commercial rule aimed at promoting commercial interests, not food quality?

Yet another amendment is aimed at simplification, taking references to the tank to include its accessories as a matter of course.

Dorothy Clough sat forward in her chair, as if she had alighted only for a moment.

You can move a control or align it relative to another control.

A CSS merely allows you to specify the formatting of each XML element without much control over the output.

It allows you to precisely select the data that will be displayed, to specify the order or arrangement of the data, and to modify or add information.

Filter fields allow you to confine the view to a particular part of the available data.

XSLT is an XML-based language that allows one XML document to be mapped, or transformed, into another XML document.

XML is a data interchange format in that it allows you to exchange data between dissimilar systems or applications.

Please allow me to say that the present report can be judged very positively.

XSLT has many of the constructs (structures and commands) found in other programming languages which allow the developer to use variables, loops and iterations, and conditional statements.

Saving an object as a data access page enables you to quickly convert an object into a page, and allows users of your application to review, enter, and analyze data over the Internet or an intranet.

He allowed his boy – an overfed young negro from the coast – to treat the white men, under his very eyes, with provoking insolence.

Allow the creators and others in the United Kingdom to have a fair debate about whether we should have a blank tape levy.

That is a formula which allows broader harmonisation and respects the traditions and practices of the Member States.

Firstly, the amendment of the concept of authorised applicants which allows any natural or legal person to request infrastructure capacity.

This makes it difficult to allow other users to gain access to the Access project.

Secondly, we should not allow this to be postponed indefinitely, and we should not introduce provisions restricted to physical persons.

On the other hand, these initial criteria should also include provisions allowing for the list to be abolished.

Motion was of the essence, the act of putting one foot in front of the other and allowing himself to follow the drift of his own body.

there is something after all in the world allowing one man to steal a horse while another must not look at a halter.

Brought from all the recesses of the coast in all the legality of time contracts, lost in uncongenial surroundings, fed on unfamiliar food, they sickened, became inefficient, and were then allowed to crawl away and rest.

An XML schema file is a formal specification of the rules for an XML document, providing a series of element names, as well as which elements are allowed in the document and in what combinations.

Even civil servants at national and local government level in Britain are not allowed to get involved in electioneering as the Commissioners are doing.

They are no longer allowed to practise their previous activities as doctors, teachers, members of parliament.

Underage wizards weren't allowed to use magic outside school.

Then, alluding with a toss of the head to the tumult in the station-yard, 'When one has got to make correct entries, one comes to hate those savages – hate them to the death.'

For the next hour Quinn alternated between dialing and waiting, always with the same result.

The body acted almost exactly as the voice had: machine-like, fitful, alternating between slow and rapid gestures, rigid and yet expressive, as if the operation were out of control, not quite corresponding to the will that lay behind it.

from responsible persons, cautious and grudging statements rephrasing and amending your own questions;

And so the question of what they were talking about really amounted to her hidden, pressed-down, banked-over desire to know whether this house, this life in Wiltshire, this life – at last – seemed to him the definitive one, in the end.

It remains highly amusing to us.

Amusing, since he's a writer and a thoughtful man, anything but a tout.

And that's finally all anyone wants out of a book – to be amused.

Amused, my wife asks why I ordered the kosher lunch.

Microsoft Access provides several techniques to help you analyze data.

A PivotTable list is an interactive table that you can use to analyze data dynamically from within a Web browser.

Saving an object as a data access page enables you to quickly convert an object into a page, and allows users of your application to review, enter, and analyze data over the Internet or an intranet.

About analyzing data

North of Naples they had bad weather and engine trouble, but they reached their harbor and anchored near two Japanese ships.

We anchored off the seat of the government.

Quinn watched them all, anchored to his spot, as if his whole being had been exiled to his eyes.

Once, I remember, we came upon a man-of-war anchored off the coast.

Part of the American Sixth Fleet was anchored nearby.

Only the gloom to the west, brooding over the upper reaches, became more somber every minute, as if angered by the approach of the sun.

I felt very annoyed.

When annoyed at meal-times by the constant quarrels of the white men about precedence, he ordered an immense round table to be made, for which a special house had to be built.

Annoying, you know, to hold your own coat like a parasol over a man's head while he is coming-to.

The regulation that was annulled was based on Article 100c of the Maastricht Treaty.

And the murderer, speaking to one of the geniuses of the nineteenth century, answers, "Because you are so simple that one can not help feeling sorry for you."

An hour later, as he climbed from the number 4 bus at 70th Street and Fifth Avenue, he still had not answered the question.

He answered Neil with a liberal use of Bwana, as a white man would expect if he were to do such a thing as stop for a black one on the road, and when he got into the car beside Bray and the South African, sat among these black and white city people like a hedgehog rolled into itself at a touch.

Every doctor should be – a little, answered that original, imperturbably.

'No, not yet,' he answered, with great composure.

But the door buzzer answered him without any conversation.

It's a yoyo, he answered, opening his hand to show him.

Mr President, I should merely like to answer Mr Kellett-Bowman in one sentence.

In practise it turns out that it is sometimes impossible to answer this question.

This is what I would say if I did answer her:

Casals did not answer.

Why haven't you been answering my letters?

You anticipate upsizing your application in the future to an Access project and want to create queries that will run with minimal changes in a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Anticipating a difficulty, I ask the stewardess to serve me a kosher lunch.

I'm sorry to disturb you, Quinn apologized. But I'm looking for Paul Auster.

He put the coat away on the rack, apologizing, trying not to hamper other people in the general move to rearrange gear; the anticipation of arrival, still some hours off, aroused in them not so much common purpose as a spread of instinct as in the lifted heads of a herd become aware of the promise of water.

One, with his chin propped on his knees, stared at nothing, in an intolerable and appalling manner: his brother phantom rested its forehead, as if overcome with a great weariness; and all about others were scattered in every pose of contorted collapse, as in some picture of a massacre or a pestilence.

For a moment I stood appalled, as though by a warning.

It was a well-kept place, with polished doorknobs and clean glass, and it had an air of bourgeois sobriety that appealed to Quinn at that moment.

A bar did not appeal to him tonight – eating in the dark, the press of boozy chatter – although normally he would have welcomed it.

For electoral reasons and in order to appeal to the masses, the subject has been brought up again.

He was at a loss to explain to himself why he found it so appealing.

Perhaps on some quiet night the tremor of far-off drums, sinking, swelling, a tremor vast, faint; a sound weird, appealing, suggestive, and wild – and perhaps with as profound a meaning as the sound of bells in a Christian country.

When items in a field are hidden by conditional filtering, a funnel appears to the left of the drop-down arrow Field arrow.

In a form or report, the Name property never appears when more than one control is selected because control names must be unique.

Mrs Weasley had appeared, holding a long poker like a sword.

These series are represented by colored data markers, and their names appear in the chart legend.

Category labels usually appear across the x axis of the chart, although this can vary depending on the type of chart you are using.

1 A custom group field that appears as the parent of the Category custom group field.

A door opened, a white-haired secretarial head, but wearing a compassionate expression, appeared, and a skinny forefinger beckoned me into the sanctuary.

White men with long staves in their hands appeared languidly from amongst the buildings, strolling up to take a look at me, and then retired out of sight somewhere.

Then, just as suddenly as the thought had appeared, it vanished.

A rocky cliff appeared, mounds of turned-up earth by the shore, houses on a hill, others, with iron roofs, amongst a waste of excavations, or hanging to the declivity.

No change appeared on the face of the rock.

Two enormous green eyes had appeared among the leaves.

He had only just reached the upstairs landing when the door bell rang and Uncle Vernon's furious face appeared at the foot of the stairs.

Then the Dursleys appeared and Dudley rattled the bars of the cage, laughing at him.

A stooping man had appeared behind the counter, smoothing his greasy hair back from his face.

Contains custom groups as its items and appears as the parent of the field whose items you grouped.

At that moment, there was a diversion in the form of a small, red-headed figure in a long nightdress, who appeared in the kitchen, gave a small squeal, and ran out again.

It appears the Company had received news that one of their captains had been killed in a scuffle with the natives.

It appears the French had one of their wars going on thereabouts.

If all the controls that you've selected share the same property setting, that setting appears in the property sheet; otherwise, that property box is blank.

The great Golden Gate that will open when the Redeemer appears stands sealed.

It appeared, however, I was also one of the Workers, with a capital – you know. Something like an emissary of light, something like a lower sort of apostle.

The cat-flap rattled and Aunt Petunia's hand appeared, pushing a bowl of tinned soup into the room.

This appears to be the case with the events which Mr Lomas reports in his question.

Appear as the parents of items you explicitly selected to create the groups.

He wandered through the station, then, as if inside the body of Paul Auster, waiting for Stillman to appear.

The sun set; the dusk fell on the stream, and lights began to appear along the shore.

There's no knowing if I'll be anywhere where I could dare appear in shorts, any more.

– and as you see, certain of these poisons might make it appear –

Specifically, schemas define the rules of an XML data document, including element names and data types, which elements can appear in combination, and which attributes are available for each element.

When you move the field back to a row or column area, the custom group fields will appear again.

However, you can open the page in Design view and create additional group levels to make the page appear similar to the original object.

It came at the end of his speeches like a seal applied on the words to make the meaning of the commonest phrase appear absolutely inscrutable.

Anyways, it could not be found there, and as it was not likely to be sent from Europe, it did not appear clear to me what he was waiting for.

You can also specify whether to overwrite any existing tables or append to existing data.

Each filter you apply is added to the ones you already have in effect.

The same applies to a whole series of other examples we can give.

This also applies to charges on cross-border transfers.

However, when you apply a filter by selection, the conditional filter already applied on the field is removed before the filter by selection is applied.

However, when you apply a filter by selection, the conditional filter already applied on the field is removed before the filter by selection is applied.

An autofilter is always applied before a conditional filter, regardless of the order in which you applied them.

You can apply a filter to a row or column field to show the top or bottom n items based on a total.

It is therefore unacceptable to compel the Member States to apply increases that are actually above the rate of inflation.

You can apply a filter to a series or category field to show the top or bottom n items based on a total.

It would not be a good thing to blindly apply competition rules and risk endangering the efficiency of Community and national interventions.

As a result, the legislation is complex, hard to understand and difficult to apply.

This procedure guarantees that all countries applying for membership are treated equally.

And the national judges frequently have difficulty in understanding and applying the concept of indirect discrimination.

However, when you apply a filter by selection, the conditional filter already applied on the field is removed before the filter by selection is applied.

An autofilter is always applied before a conditional filter, regardless of the order in which you applied them.

If you change the property setting, the change is applied to all selected controls.

If there are 40 salespeople, after the filter is applied, you will see data for 10 people.

Within the European Union, resale right exists in the legislation of eleven Member States, but it is only really applied in eight.

The directive codifies the case law of the Court of Justice and ensures that it will be consistently applied.

The 2.6 -% margin of fluctuation is nothing new; it already exists within the present system and is already being applied.

Typically, a developer creates an XSL transformation file that, when applied to an XML document during export, interprets or transforms the XML data into a presentation format that can be recognized by another application, such as Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) or a custom purchase order format.

It came at the end of his speeches like a seal applied on the words to make the meaning of the commonest phrase appear absolutely inscrutable.

You haven't replaced the District Commissioner by appointing a district magistrate.

The bird was on the roof of the round, thatched guest room in the garden of his old friend Roland Dando – a Welshman – newly appointed as Attorney-General.

The only real feeling was a desire to get appointed to a trading-post where ivory was to be had, so that they could earn percentages.

She was determined to make no end of fuss to get me appointed skipper of a river steamboat, if such was my fancy.

We outsiders are not stable enough to appreciate them.

As I approached the glow from the dark I found myself at the back of two men, talking.

As they approached it, they saw to their surprise a large crowd jostling outside the doors, trying to get in.

Each time an elderly man approached, he braced himself for it to be Stillman.

He had been there almost an hour, and the time was approaching for his call to Virginia Stillman.

The car was approaching, was carrying him through the market quarter of the town.

Unfortunately, at its last vote on the subject Parliament approved these subsidies by a majority.

"What was wanted was an elite to underpin the rulers, themselves in turn supported and buttressed by a population which presumably understood, approved, and legitimated the aims of such an elite.

This is why we will be approving the report which has been presented to us.

They argued self-righteously as two old-maid sisters.

Some would argue that there should be fair use without fair compensation.

We don't have to argue; we can take it that colonialism is indefensible, for us, no?

Harry tried to argue back but his words were drowned by a long, loud belch from the Dursleys son, Dudley.

It was only months and months afterwards, when I made the attempt to recover what was left of the body, that I heard the original quarrel arose from a misunderstanding about some hens.

afterwards he arose and went out – and the wilderness without a sound took him into its bosom again.

And I would not want the opposite view to arise through any misunderstanding in the present report.

At some stage in their development all SMEs experience problems arising from their weak capital resources.

They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force – nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others.

A mounted escort of some 30 men, all armed.

Well, if a lot of mysterious niggers armed with all kinds of fearful weapons suddenly took to traveling on the road between Deal and Gravesend, catching the yokels right and left to carry heavy loads for them, I fancy every farm and cottage thereabouts would get empty very soon.

He put the coat away on the rack, apologizing, trying not to hamper other people in the general move to rearrange gear; the anticipation of arrival, still some hours off, aroused in them not so much common purpose as a spread of instinct as in the lifted heads of a herd become aware of the promise of water.

A page that has controls arranged as a datasheet

Gliding into a new political realm, the Americans arranged for loans to the Egyptian government.

She was an anthropologist, and Bray accepted this as an explanation for her passion for arranging excursions, on which she carried her baby tied on her back, African style.

Harry heard from Hogwarts one sunny morning about a week after he had arrived at The Burrow.

In a very few hours I arrived in a city that always makes me think of a whited sepulcher.

Roly rang up to see if he had arrived, and explained again – he had done so in advance by letter – that he had an official lunch to attend.

Since he arrived eighteen months ago there's been damn all for him to do except go fishing up at Rinsala.

you'll be more or less settled by the time she arrives.

But when Neil, Bray, Evelyn Odara and the South African got down to the second-class trading area, the others hadn't arrived.

Strings of dusty niggers with splay feet arrived and departed; a stream of manufactured goods, rubbishy cottons, beads, and brass-wire set into the depths of darkness, and in return came a precious trickle of ivory.

Mrs. Indira Gandhi arrives this afternoon and yesterday it was United Nations and Sekou Toure.

There was some sort of scuffle when Bray arrived...

I seem to have arrived, he said to himself.

The train was due to arrive in time, and from his vantage in the center of the doorway, Quinn judged that his chances of seeing Stillman were good.

Stillman's train was not due to arrive until six-forty-one, but Quinn wanted time to study the geography of the place, to make sure that Stillman would not be able to slip away from him.

Hence the lack of solitude, the inability to be alone in the spiritual sense, and to arrive at a life of intellectual creativity."

He would arrive early, never later than seven o'clock and sit there with a take-out coffee, a buttered roll, and an open newspaper on his lap, watching the glass door of the hotel.

People were arriving, and the younger one was walking back and forth introducing them.

Someone had put up a board with a collage of blown-up pictures of Mweta – speaking, laughing, yawning, touching a piece of machinery with curiosity, leaving, arriving, even threatening.

He must just as well have asked for Chief Sitting Bull – the effect would have been no different.

"Will they print it?" she asked.

And when they come back, too? I asked.

'What! Dead?' I asked, startled.

Yes? he asked tentatively.

Been living there? he asked.

All right? Auster asked.

Bray asked everywhere about Edward Shinza; certainly he was not in evidence at any official occasion.

Roly Dando asked with grudging interest about the visit.

I always ask leave, in the interests of science, to measure the crania of those going out there, he said.

Would it embarrass Evelyn if Evelyn sang? she asked Bray.

They had asked Percy if he wanted to join them, but he had said he was busy.

You never know whom you have asked to your palace.

Well, the job is done, one asks nothing more but to fold one's tents.

Oh, are you starting at Hogwarts this year? Harry asked Ginny.

I asked which of the two attitudes would prevail in twentieth-century France the century of the Dreyfus affair and of the Vichy government.

"What is that?" he asks.

Amused, my wife asks why I ordered the kosher lunch.

Bray asked, How on earth have you managed?

We got into talk, and by-and-by we strolled away from the hissing ruins. Then he asked me to his room, which was in the main building of the station.

I'm so glad you dance, she said; he was ashamed that he had asked her only out of politeness.

"Why are you so kind to me?" Dostoevski asks.

Good, good for there, he mumbled, and then with a certain eagerness asked me whether I would let him measure my head.

Ever any madness in your family?' he asked, in a matter-of-fact tone.

You might ask Mweta, if you get a chance to talk to him, ask him if he isn't going to find a piddling little job somewhere, something with a decent label to it, for poor old Shinza, he was banging on the Colonial Secretary's door with a panga while Mweta was a snotty picannin singing hymns up at the mission school.

Quinn asked him about the essay.

Quinn asked the boy what it was.

Quinn asked him if he could try, and the boy walked over and put it in his hand.

He shook it, feeling the uncanny slenderness of her bones, and asked if her name was Norwegian.

At last he called the operator and asked whether the phone was out of order.

I ask one of the hostesses when I may expect to receive a drink and she cries out in irritation, "Back to your seat! "

Anticipating a difficulty, I ask the stewardess to serve me a kosher lunch.

He says, "I ask myself in what ways my life has not been typical.

I asked myself what I was to do there, now my boat was lost.

I asked myself sometimes what it all meant.

It was not the right question to have asked;

Guess who I saw in Borgin and Burkes? Harry asked Ron and Hermione as they climbed the Gringotts steps.

Bray had a lot of questions, not all of them kind, to ask about other people.

Everyone knows that it is politically impossible to turn to the Member States and ask for an increase in the Membership fee.

I should like to welcome Mrs Cresson and ask her to reply to Mr Valverde's question.

Neither of them had written to him all summer, even though Ron had said he was going to ask Harry to come and stay.

You might ask Mweta, if you get a chance to talk to him, ask him if he isn't going to find a piddling little job somewhere, something with a decent label to it, for poor old Shinza, he was banging on the Colonial Secretary's door with a panga while Mweta was a snotty picannin singing hymns up at the mission school.

Mr Mason stayed just long enough to tell the Dursleys that his wife was mortally afraid of birds of all shapes and sizes, and to ask whether this was their idea of a joke.

We would also ask you to remember that any magical activity that risks notice by members of the non-magical community (Muggles) is a serious offence, under section 13 of the International Confederation of Warlocks' Statute of Secrecy.

I want to ask him why it wasn't printed.

He did not ask me to sit down after my twenty-mile walk that morning.

They sit by the gates asking alms, then whine avoidance of them & horror.

On my asking who Mr. Kurtz was, he said he was a first-class agent; and seeing my disappointment at this information, he added slowly, laying down his pen, 'He is a very remarkable person.'

That's why I rang the buzzer without asking who it was.

It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not.

You're asking too much.

The rapporteur is asking for a threshold of 50 to 30 ppm, which would also involve excessive cost without appreciable benefit.

He had been out nearly three years; and, later on, I could not help asking him how he managed to sport such linen.

I couldn't help asking him once what he meant by coming there at all.

Mr Weasley liked Harry to sit next to him at the dinner table so that he could bombard him with questions about life with Muggles, asking him to explain how things like plugs and the postal service worked.

So, I am asking, will you take my fifteen dollars?"

Bray surprised her by asking her to dance, swaying stiffly to a rhythm he didn't know, but nevertheless keeping the beat, so that they wouldn't make fools of themselves among the complicated gyrations of the Africans.

That's what I'm asking...

The cistern of the lavatory drizzled into the pan constantly and couldn't be flushed properly, and the towels were stiff as a dress-shirt (Olivia had taken years to get people to learn to rinse the soap out of the washing), but an old fellow in a cook's hat put tea under the trees for him and carried off his crumpled suit to be pressed without being asked.

What is being asked of small employers here is very difficult.

No doubt he was; but he had been a couple of years already out there engaged in the noble cause, you know, and he probably felt the need at last of asserting his self-respect in some way.

3 The Other group is the parent of the items you did not assign to any specific custom group.

Bright hair was brushed up off a high round forehead and behind the ears, in a way he associated with busy, capable women.

A connection file stores information about a connection to a data source (such as an OLE DB data source) and the data associated with the connection.

However, the Web page designer must provide a location from which components can be downloaded, and must reference the site license in a license package file (.lpk) that is associated with one or more Web pages.

He naturally assumes you'll come out of exile.

But that would assume he was aware of being watched, and Quinn felt that was unlikely.

Perhaps it is especially important, however, to define in precise terms the responsibility that city will have to assume.

Nobody knew what it was for... a security measure, some were satisfied to assume, while others accepted it as vaguely appropriate, the symbol of progress inseparable from all industrial fairs and agricultural shows and therefore somehow relevant to any public display.

He made a resigned grimace assuming understanding... My wife and I decided we couldn't stick it any longer.

It was a modest disclaimer, with the effect of assuming in common the ease with Africans that he believed Bray to have.

it was assumed that he would pick up family and other relationships merely by being exposed to them.

A simple formality assured me the secretary, with an air of taking an immense part in all my sorrows.

I was smoking my pipe quietly by my dismantled steamer, and saw them all cutting capers in the light, with their arms lifted high, when the stout man with mustaches came tearing down to the river, a tin pail in his hand, assured me that everybody was 'behaving splendidly, splendidly,' dipped about a quart of water and tore back again.

I assure the House firmly that Hong-Kong will not slip from our sights in the Commission.

'I hastened to assure him I was not in the least typical.

There was a touch of insanity in the proceeding, a sense of lugubrious drollery in the sight; and it was not dissipated by somebody on board assuring me earnestly there was a camp of natives – he called them enemies! – hidden out of sight somewhere.

Then he began again, assuring me Mr. Kurtz was the best agent he had, an exceptional man, of the greatest importance to the Company; therefore I could understand his anxiety.

Dando, equally assured, went on talking as if without interruption.

I am astonished.

and I was going to take charge of a two-penny-halfpenny river-steamboat with a penny whistle attached!

I've had to strike and to fend off. I've had to resist and to attack sometimes – that's only one way of resisting – without counting the exact cost, according to the demands of such sort of life as I had blundered into.

Nor can you attain the true solitude that is a condition and prerequisite of creation, the source and its strength.

To a certain extent, ensuring equal opportunities for men and women is like trying to attain the unattainable.

Roly rang up to see if he had arrived, and explained again – he had done so in advance by letter – that he had an official lunch to attend.

Some two hundred Hasidim are flying to Israel to attend the circumcision of the firstborn son of their spiritual leader, the Belzer Rabbi.

He attended most of the official occasions (he and Roly saluted each other with mock surprise when they met in the house, half-dressed in formal dinner clothes every night) but the real parties took place before and after.

Filtering a field (Autofiltering)

He had even imagined the conversation that would follow: he, suavely diffident as the stranger praised the book, and then, with great reluctance and modesty, agreeing to autograph the title page, since you insist.

Avoid irritation more than exposure to the sun.

In general, avoid doing the following to prevent problems caused by mixing queries created under different ANSI SQL query modes:

I avoided a vast artificial hole somebody had been digging on the slope, the purpose of which I found it impossible to divine.

To avoid collapse the Russians may be driven into a war with China.

How to avoid problems caused by mixing queries under different ANSI SQL query modes in the same database

To avoid confusion, ensure that aliases and column names are always unique in an SQL statement.

Too little is being done in this area. More needs to be done, but we must avoid creating more bureaucracy.

We can't avoid being politicized (to use a word as murky as the condition it describes) because it is necessary after all to know what is going on.

Why you should avoid mixing queries created under different ANSI SQL query modes

For some reason, he found it unpleasant to look in the mirror and kept trying to avoid himself with his eyes.

Out of a kind of jealousy of the new young men from Britain and America who were so careful to show their lack of colour-feeling by avoiding tainted words and addressing people by polite forms, he ecklessly used the old settler vocabulary that reflected an attitude he had had no part of, ever.

We feel that the Internet provides an effective way of avoiding that stranglehold.

About avoiding the mixing of queries created under different ANSI SQL query modes

In Jakov Lind's interesting brief book on Israel, Ben-Gurion is quoted as saying, "The Jews know hardly anything of a hell that might await them.

Every now and then, while dinner was awaited, their conversation was backed by intensely sociable sounds – pitched talk – let in from the kitchen as the servant went in and out, laying the table.

Mrs Weasley had shouted herself hoarse before she turned on Harry, who backed away.

Harry backed away.

Every now and then, while dinner was awaited, their conversation was backed by intensely sociable sounds – pitched talk – let in from the kitchen as the servant went in and out, laying the table.

They beguiled the time by backbiting and intriguing against each other in a foolish kind of way.

Quinn backtracked in his mind to the beginning of the case.

Such precision baffled Quinn, for in all other respects Stillman seemed to be aimless.

Books were stacked three deep on the mantelpiece, books with titles like Charm Your Own Cheese, Enchantment in Baking, and One Minute Feasts – It's Magic!

Coarse and florid shrubs, hibiscus with its big flowers sluttish with pollen and ants and poinsettia oozing milky secretion, bloomed giving a show of fecundity to the red, poor soil running baked bald under the grass, beaten slimy by the rains under the trees, and friable only where ants had digested it and made little crusty tunnels.

We are told we must balance interests but, quite frankly, all interests are not equal.

She went off to dance, holding in her stomach as she squeezed past and balanced her soft-looking body.

The bird was probably balancing on the little porcelain conductor through which the electricity wire led to the light dangling above him.

Six black men advanced in a file, toiling up the path. They walked erect and slow, balancing small baskets full of earth on their heads, and the clink kept time with their footsteps.

For my part, I feel that the negotiations were balanced and that they open the way for achieving a sustainable market.

She gestured and laughed, but her husband was eager to break in, holding up his hands over the plate balanced on his knees.

Copyright holders are given an absolute right to protection, with the banning of copying for private use for example.

Dobby made a funny choking noise and then banged his head madly against the wall.

You might ask Mweta, if you get a chance to talk to him, ask him if he isn't going to find a piddling little job somewhere, something with a decent label to it, for poor old Shinza, he was banging on the Colonial Secretary's door with a panga while Mweta was a snotty picannin singing hymns up at the mission school.

banging on the Governor's door with a panga when the others were still picannins with snotty noses...

Davis was the settler M.P. who had been responsible, at one stage, for getting Mweta banished to the far Western Province.

For God's sake, Timothy, stop baring your teeth and sink them into something.

It was built of horizontal planks, and so badly put together that, as he bent over his high desk, he was barred from neck to heels with narrow strips of sunlight.

A young black man with sunglasses and a thick, springy mat of hair shaped to a crew-cut by topiary rather than barbering had cut through the crowd with the encircling movement of authority.

He was bearing down on Harry like a great bulldog, all his teeth bared.

Timothy Odara's fine teeth were bared in impatient pleasantness.

I would very much like to know on what kind of scientific evidence the Greens are basing all these amendments.

You can apply a filter to a row or column field to show the top or bottom n items based on a total.

For example, you can filter for the top or bottom 25 % of salespeople based on the number of orders handled.

For example, if you set a conditional filter to show the top two cities based on sales, followed by an autofilter on the ShippedCity field to include only five cities, the PivotTable view will show the top two of the five cities you selected.

It then proposes the creation of a European quality mark based on respect for the environmental criteria for production.

For example, if you move the Salesperson field to the MultiChart area, a chart is created based on data for each salesperson in that field.

You can group based on the first n characters of the individual items.

When you open a page, Access reads the connection file that is linked to the page, and based on the contents of the connection file, connects the page to the appropriate data source.

When you create a link, Access will automatically set the ConnectionString property based on the contents of the connection file.

2 A crosstab query based on the select query

You can apply a filter to a series or category field to show the top or bottom n items based on a total.

For example, you can filter for the top 25 % or bottom 25 % of salespeople based on the number of orders handled.

Filtering based on the data in one cell (Filter by Selection)

The width of the ruler's unit of measure is based on the regional settings in Microsoft Windows Control Panel.

The regulation that was annulled was based on Article 100c of the Maastricht Treaty.

These views, no substitute for common sense, are based upon careful staff work at the Hudson Institute.

The guidelines and exposure proposed by the Commissioner are based on those recently published by the International Convention on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection.

Secondly, the origin rules applicable to imports to third countries from the Community are still based on individual Member States.

When you move a field that has custom groups between row and column areas, the custom group fields that are based on the field move with the field.

At the Pettigrews' house that night, Dando's voice came from the group round someone basting a sheep on the home-made spit:... damn all except go fishing with his secretary acting ghillie...

I'm aware of that.

not tonight, Dandy-Roly I'm on my best behaviour.

I suppose you can call it speculative, since I'm not really out to prove anything.

I'm still here. Sort of.

I'm just –

Sometimes I even think I'm down South again, that's a fact.

Dear Ron, and Harry if you're there,

She said, There're bulbs like you see in films round the star's dressing-table, and they light up and spell INDEPENDENCE HURRAH.

In addition, XML defined structures are unambiguous; that is, they are self-describing and platform-independent.

When you are in Design view of a form or report, you can use the ruler to help you resize controls.

Across the way, occupying the greater part of the station's east wall, was the Kodak display photograph, with its bright unearthly colors.

It was now past five o'clock.

Before he could get up and leave, the words were already out of his mouth. Do you find it exciting?

The girl was beyond hope.

I wish it was. But this has nothing to do with literature.

It's of no use to me. Quinn looked around the apartment and gestured vaguely.

Since the check is in my name, I'll cash it for you.

The house of Annas, in which Jesus was questioned and struck, is within the compound.

History and politics are not at all like the notions developed by intelligent, informed people.

So that, as they say in Chicago, is where the smart money is.

So that, as they say in Chicago, is where the smart money is.

"The Times ought to be stronger in politics than it is in literature, but who knows.

Is that question in the interests of science too?

And he was devoted to his books, which were in apple-pie order.

Everything else in the station was in a muddle, – heads, things, buildings.

Further questions elicited from him that Mr. Kurtz was at present in charge of a trading post, a very important one, in the true ivory-country, at 'the very bottom of there.

It is therefore unacceptable to compel the Member States to apply increases that are actually above the rate of inflation.

Chemicals are still on our agenda in the EU.

But Shinza's here for the Independence ceremony?

But that's between the two of them.

Oh Mweta's not like that.

Sir Reginald himself will present Mweta with a buta-wood lectern and silver inkstand, it's down for Tuesday afternoon.

It's enough to make your hair stand on end, said Dando; and enjoyed the effect.

The girl was there in their conversation like a photograph come upon lying between the pages of a book; Bray was not sure whether she was child or woman: thin collar-bones, a long neck with a face hardly wider, pale and sallow, a big, thin, unpainted mouth, black hair and glittering, sorrowful black eyes.

They said good night to each other in the bright slanting sun and the Bayley children were already out on the grass in their pyjamas, riding bicycles.

A young woman was in and out the Bayleys' house, sometimes adding to, sometimes carrying off with her the many children who played there.

It was like walking into a furnace: nearly everything in Ron's room seemed to be a violent shade of orange: the bedspread, the walls, even the ceiling.

In the following example, the Salesperson field is in the MultiChart area, but it's filtered so it displays individual charts for Buchanan and Davolio.

As he emerged from the subway and entered the great hall, he saw by the clock that it was just past four.

Auster was somewhat reticent about it, but at last he conceded that he was working on a book of essays. The current piece was about Don Quixote.

However, all that is to no purpose.

One of them, a stout, excitable chap with black mustaches, informed me with great volubility and many digressions, as soon as I told him who I was, that my steamer was at the bottom of the river.

You were just in front of me when we got out in Rome.

You know how it is just at the moment.

The bird was on the roof of the round, thatched guest room in the garden of his old friend Roland Dando – a Welshman – newly appointed as Attorney-General.

Harry could make out Hermione's neat writing, Ron's untidy scrawl and even a scribble that looked as though it was from the Hogwarts gamekeeper, Hagrid.

He sat down in the only remaining chair but leapt up again almost immediately, pulling from underneath him a moulting, grey feather duster – at least, that was what Harry thought it was, until he saw that it was breathing.

XSL for Transformation (XSLT) is a specification that is currently under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and supported by Access.

That is:

This is because PivotTable views use the Microsoft Office PivotTable Component, and Excel PivotTable reports either do not support certain PivotTable list features, or they implement some features differently.

When you copy an interior vertical line, the new line is halfway between the line you copied and the line to the right of the line you copied.

When you copy an interior horizontal line, the new line is halfway between the line you copied and the line below the line you copied.

That is, a user with an appropriate license can make changes to data in a spreadsheet, change formatting, drag fields in a chart or PivotTable List, and so on, as long as you didn't protect these options at design time.

But that was much later.

Who he was, where he came from, and what he did are of no great importance.

The world was outside of him, around him, before him, and the speed with which it kept changing made it impossible for him to dwell on any one thing for very long.

Motion was of the essence, the act of putting one foot in front of the other and allowing himself to follow the drift of his own body.

But there it was, hanging amidst the debris of his wardrobe.

To one side of him was the park, green in the morning sun, with sharp, fleeting shadows; to the other side was the Frick, white and austere, as if abandoned to the dead.

To one side of him was the park, green in the morning sun, with sharp, fleeting shadows; to the other side was the Frick, white and austere, as if abandoned to the dead.

The woman was thirty, perhaps thirty-five; average height at best; hips a touch wide, or else voluptuous, depending on your point of view; dark hair, dark eyes, and a look in those eyes that was at once self-contained and vaguely seductive.

The appointment was for ten, said Quinn, glancing at his watch.

It was exactly ten.

He had wanted to take in the details of what he was seeing, but the task was somehow beyond him at that moment.

The body acted almost exactly as the voice had: machine-like, fitful, alternating between slow and rapid gestures, rigid and yet expressive, as if the operation were out of control, not quite corresponding to the will that lay behind it.

It was like watching a marionette trying to walk without strings.

To his right, ensconced behind the cash register, was the boss, a small balding man with curly hair and a concentration camp number tattoed on his forearm,

The essential thing was to stay involved.

How much better it was to believe that all his steps were actually to some purpose.

For he was obliged now to concentrate on what he was doing, even if it was next to nothing.

The first was to tell himself that he was no longer Daniel Quinn.

Auster's building was in the middle of the long block that ran between 116th and 119th Streets, just south of Riverside Church and Grant's Tomb.

Auster's apartment was on the eleventh floor, and Quinn rang the buzzer, expecting to hear a voice speak to him through the intercom.

You'll have to tell me what it's about first.

You aren't a poet, are you?

The answer is obvious, isn't it?

Quinn was about to say something in response to Auster's theory, but he was not given the chance.

Quinn was nowhere now.

It was seven o'clock now.

At last he called the operator and asked whether the phone was out of order.

My rabbi is in Jerusalem."

"Fifteen dollars isn't nearly enough."

It acts queerly on my nerves (through the feet, as it were), because I feel that a good part of this dust must be ground out of human bone.

This was not considered particularly bizarre; other American ambassadors and ministers in the Arab world were entirely in favor of "genuine" revolution to overthrow old landowners, rich crooks, and politicians.

They believed that genuine democracy was now on its way.

If Israel were governed as Egypt is, or Syria, would I have come here at all?

Well, this matter was in dispute.

One of the boys was from Oklahoma, near Tulsa.

You are in a city like many another well, not quite, for Jerusalem is the only ancient city I've ever seen whose antiquities are not on display as relics but are in daily use.

the difference is that when a bomb goes off in a West End restaurant the fundamental right of England to exist is not in dispute.

It was difficult to realize his work was not out there in the luminous estuary, but behind him, within the brooding gloom.

The water shone pacifically; the sky, without a speck, was a benign immensity of unstained light; the very mist on the Essex marshes was like a gauzy and radiant fabric, hung from the wooded rises inland, and draping the low shores in diaphanous folds.

Their minds are of the stay-at-home order, and their home is always with them – the ship; and so is their country – the sea.

Their minds are of the stay-at-home order, and their home is always with them – the ship; and so is their country – the sea.

One ship is very much like another, and the sea is always the same.

It was just like Marlow. It was accepted in silence.

Yes; but it is like a running blaze on a plain, like a flash of lightning in the clouds.

But darkness was here yesterday.

The glamour's off.

It's queer how out of touch with truth women are.

The best way I can explain it to you is by saying that, for a second or two, I felt as though, instead of going to the center of a continent, I were about to set off for the center of the earth.

There it is before you – smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering,' Come and find out.

The voice of the surf heard now and then was a positive pleasure, like the speech of a brother.

It was like a weary pilgrimage amongst hints for nightmares.

There's your Company's station, said the Swede, pointing to three wooden barrack-like structures on the rocky slope.

The cliff was not in the way or anything; but this objectless blasting was all the work going on.

I could see every rib, the joints of their limbs were like knots in a rope; each had an iron collar on his neck, and all were connected together with a chain whose bights swung between them, rhythmically clinking.

My purpose was to stroll into the shade for a moment; but no sooner within than it seemed to me I had stepped into a gloomy circle of some Inferno.

The rapids were near, and an uninterrupted, uniform, headlong, rushing noise filled the mournful stillness of the grove, where not a breath stirred, not a leaf moved, with a mysterious sound – as though the tearing pace of the launched earth had suddenly become audible.

He originated nothing, he could keep the routine going – that's all. But he was great.

You fancied you had seen things – but the seal was on.

Where he sat was the first place – the rest were nowhere.

Mr. Kurtz was...

We got into talk, and by-and-by we strolled away from the hissing ruins. Then he asked me to his room, which was in the main building of the station.

It is precisely when engines are claimed to be environment-friendly because they consume less fuel that we can not make any exceptions.

But two groups are in confrontation.

If these products are in short supply or of inferior quality, that will sound the death-knell for Europe.

The ball is now in the Commission's court.

It is up to the railway undertakings to decide whether to do so more in the form of cooperation or of competition.

But the opportunity for the renaissance of the railways is at hand, and that is what we should strive for.

As Olivia said, it ought to have been a sad-feeling place but it wasn't; there was instead a renewal: the country had come back, bringing the reassurance of stubborn peace and fecundity, a beginning again.

Well, you ought to be at the Independence celebrations, if anyone is.

The pale stone façade with its stone lintels and sills worn smooth as a piece of used soap was directly on the empty road but the real face of the house was the other side.

It's not because of what one said.

Adamson was in the flush of victory, all right.

one was available wherever one was of use.

She did not know whether he felt it too; and she could not try to find out because if it turned out that he didn't – she had a premonition, sometimes, that in middle age you could find you had lost everything in a moment: husband – lover, friend, children, it was as if they had never happened, or you had wandered off from them without knowing, and now stood stock-still with the discovery.

It's all in the air.

It was underfoot.

It was around.

it's got the character of the miners' pub it was, but it's very handy for the new government offices, not too overawing, so you get quite a few Africans coming in.

Oh I'll tell you who's still around though – Barry Forsyth.

You say I cook chicken, isn't it?

Whatever the black magistrates are like, whatever the administration's like, it won't be like that.

Whatever the black magistrates are like, whatever the administration's like, it won't be like that.

He was conscious of a giddy swing of weight from one foot to the other that was not of his volition; it seemed he had been standing there a long time – he was not sure.

and then it was morning and Festus's assistant was at the door with the early tea.

Nobody knew what it was for... a security measure, some were satisfied to assume, while others accepted it as vaguely appropriate, the symbol of progress inseparable from all industrial fairs and agricultural shows and therefore somehow relevant to any public display.

Here was the symbolic attainment of something he had believed in, willed and worked for, for a good stretch of his life:

And yet when that ceremony was over, and in between all the other official occasions – State Ball, receptions, cocktail parties, banquets, and luncheons – a mood of celebration grew up, as it were, outside the palace gates.

And yet when that ceremony was over, and in between all the other official occasions – State Ball, receptions, cocktail parties, banquets, and luncheons – a mood of celebration grew up, as it were, outside the palace gates.

Roly Dando had promised to drop by, and of course Bray was with him.

Cheers went up from the people already present who had not been at the ball; they had decided to dress for once, too, and the two groups of women mingled and exclaimed over each other, everyone began to talk about what the ball was like, champagne came in, a Congolese band whipped up their pace, and the absurd and slightly thrilling mood of the State Ball and the cosy gaiety of the party swept together.

And how's your father?

They moved off with their plates of food, and Wentz said to a woman settled in one of the canvas chairs, Margot, here is Colonel Bray.

No, no, please stay where you are.

I'm not as brave as you are.

Mrs. Wentz had put down her food and she sat back out of the light of the fire, a big face glimmering in the dark, caverns where the eyes were.

I'm sorry, forty-eight years you were under British rule, digging their mines, building roads for them, making towns, living in shanties and waiting on them, cleaning up after them, treated like dirt... now it's all over, you really think there was any way at all you could enter the modern world without suffering?

The young Pettigrew woman was always in a state of enthusiasm;

He missed Hogwarts so much it was like having a constant stomach ache.

He wore round glasses, and on his forehead was a thin, lightning-shaped scar.

Harry had taken up his place at wizard school, where he and his scar were famous, but now the school year was over, and he was back with the Dursleys for the summer, back to being treated like a dog that had rolled in something smelly.

When dinner's over, you take Mrs Mason back to the lounge for coffee, Petunia, and I'll bring the subject round to drills.

Harry had slipped through Voldemort's clutches for a second time, but it had been a narrow escape, and even now, weeks later, Harry kept waking in the night, drenched in cold sweat, wondering where Voldemort was now, remembering his livid face, his wide, mad eyes.

The trouble was, there was already someone sitting on it.

Ron Weasley was outside Harry's window.

When the bars were safely in the back seat with Ron, Fred reversed as close as possible to Harry's window.

It looked as though it had once been a large stone pigsty, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several storeys high and so crooked it looked as though it was held up by magic (which, Harry reminded himself, it probably was).

The one he'd just left, Borgin and Burkes, looked like the largest, but opposite was a nasty window display of shrunken heads, and two doors down, a large cage was alive with gigantic black spiders.

There is currently no simple way for the system administrator to create new logon accounts to the locally installed SQL Server database except by using SQL Tools or Transact-SQL (TSQL) commands.

On the other side of the flag there was a chart of the manual alphabet – LEARN TO SPEAK TO YOUR FRIENDS – that showed the hand positions for each of the twenty-six letters.

Quinn turned his attention to the young woman on his right, to see if there was any reading material in that direction.

There were several pimples on her left cheek, obscured by a pimpish smear of pancake makeup, and a wad of chewing gum was crackling in her mouth.

The girl shrugged again and cracked her gum loudly. Sort of. There's a part where the detective gets lost that's kind of scary.

If that's true, then there's no hope.

There's one thing I'll do for you, though.

There's a much more important question than the check, he said.

Beyond that point there was nothing: the random thoughts of men who knew nothing.

In Anna Scherer's salon, the elegant guests are discussing the scandal of Napoleon and the Duc d'Enghien, and Prince Andrei says that after all there is a great difference between Napoleon the Emperor and Napoleon the private person.

In my letter to Le Monde I had said that in the French tradition there were two attitudes toward the Jews: a revolutionary attitude which had resulted in their enfranchisement, and an anti-Semitic one.

Opposite it there are olives still, which Arabs are harvesting with long poles.

Instead, there are boys stern and joyous, galloping hell-bent on their donkeys toward the Lions' Gate.

Perhaps there is a certain Vautrin-admiring romanticism in this.

The fingers closed slowly on it and held – there was no other movement and no other glance.

Was there any idea at all connected with it?

There was no need to open the big shutter to see.

Suddenly there was a growing murmur of voices and a great tramping of feet.

The Chair has already stated that the proposal was made in accordance with the Rules, so there are no grounds for changing anything.

In other words, there is a conflict between the parafiscal and fiscal aims; you can not have your cake and eat it.

In one amendment, there is a call for the inclusion of pure and simple renewal of vineyards in the restructuring measures.

There was silence and then he heard that there were voices in the silence droning somewhere, breaking off for breath, laughing – not softly, but softened by being almost out of earshot.

He strolled to the limits of the garden and climbed through the barbed-wire fence, but the grasses and thornbush on the other side (Dando's place was eight miles out of town) were too entangled for walking where there was no path.

There were – or used to be – leopards on the outskirts of the town; Dando had once had his dog taken.

But there's the President, now.

If there's a father of the state, it's got to be him or no one.

There was a famous newspaper interview where he had called Mweta that golliwog from Gala, raising its unruly and misguided head in the nursery of industrial relations in this young country.

There were screams from the dining room and Uncle Vernon burst into the kitchen to find Harry, rigid with shock, covered from head to foot in Aunt Petunia's pudding.

The Dursleys wouldn't have liked it – there were plenty of weeds, and the grass needed cutting – but there were gnarled trees all around the walls, plants Harry had never seen spilling from every flowerbed and a big green pond full of frogs.

There was a violent scuffling noise, the peony bush shuddered and Ron straightened up.

There's still Rusty, of course, but he's too fat to run anymore.

But there was a certain comfort in that.

There were light bulbs representing the stars and line drawings of the celestial figures.

But nothing had ever come of it, and he had felt stupid, as though there were a blind spot in the center of his brain.

There was bread and butter, more beer, knives and forks, salt and pepper, napkins, and omelettes, two of them, oozing on white plates.

There's nothing like it.

Is there any question?

There is a clever, persistent young woman who writes to me often from Italy, who insists upon giving the most ordinary occurrences in my novels a political interpretation.

There was a vast amount of red – good to see at any time, because one knows that some real work is done in there, a deuce of a lot of blue, a little green, smears of orange, and, on the East Coast, a purple patch, to show where the jolly pioneers of progress drink the jolly lager-beer.

You know I am not used to such ceremonies, and there was something ominous in the atmosphere.

There's something pathetically childish in the ruins of grass walls.

First there is the paragraph inviting the Commission to withdraw its proposal.

Madam President, in the Swedish version of Amendment No-4 there is an unfortunate mistake.

I read you were coming back, there was an article in the paper, my wife Margot sent it to me in Switzerland, so I thought it was you.

There was an official pennant on the Volkswagen.

There were gilded arches over the old airport road to town; several men on bicycles wore shirts with Mweta's face printed in yellow and puce on their backs.

Advertisement hoardings had gone up, there was a cement works, smart factories put together out of jutting glassy sections and, in between, the patches scratched in the bush where women and children were hoeing crooked rows of beans and maize.

It was the mango season, and there were the saffron-yellow sabres of the pips, sucked hairy, everywhere where people passed.

There was no ceiling and he looked up into the pattern of a spider's web made by the supporting beams of the roof.

There was some sort of scuffle when Bray arrived...

Flower arrangements were placed everywhere, as if there were illness in the house.

For a few minutes there was silence as they all read their letters.

There was also a list of the new books he'd need for the coming year.

However, any queries you created were not visible in the Database window because there was no option to set this mode in the user interface.

If you are familiar with Microsoft Excel PivotTable reports and want to work with the data in Excel, there are two ways to accomplish this.

If there are 40 salespeople, after the filter is applied, you will see data for 10 people.

In the beginning, there was simply the event and its consequences.

There were no clues, no leads, no moves to be made.

There were, of course, certain extreme measures that they could take.

There was one Paul Auster in Manhattan, living on Riverside Drive – not far from Quinn's own house.

Yes. But there's one last twist.

And who else is it but Sancho Panza, the faithful squire whom Don Quixote has chosen for exactly this purpose?

There's great beauty to it.

There were so many possibilities, he could not even begin.

To me there is nothing foreign in these hats, side-locks, and fringes.

He says to me, "Where there is no paradox there is no life."

When the ship passed Stromboli at night, there was a streak of crimson lava flowing from the volcano and the sailors wouldn't leave the television set to look at this natural phenomenon.

What you do know is that there is one fact of Jewish life unchanged by the creation of a Jewish state: you can not take your right to live for granted.

On the whole river there was nothing that looked half so nautical.

Between us there was, as I have already said somewhere, the bond of the sea.

Afterwards there was silence on board the yacht.

There's no initiation either into such mysteries.

At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a map (but they all look that) I would put my finger on it and say, 'When I grow up I will go there.'

But there was one yet – the biggest, the most blank, so to speak – that I had a hankering after.

But there was in it one river especially, a mighty big river, that you could see on the map, resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country, and its tail lost in the depths of the land.

Then I remembered there was a big concern, a Company for trade on that river.

There was a touch of insanity in the proceeding, a sense of lugubrious drollery in the sight; and it was not dissipated by somebody on board assuring me earnestly there was a camp of natives – he called them enemies! – hidden out of sight somewhere.

There wasn't one that was not broken.

Otherwise there was only an indefinable, faint expression of his lips, something stealthy – a smile – not a smile – I remember it, but I can't explain.

Perhaps there was nothing within him.

Such a suspicion made one pause – for out there there were no external checks.

There were rumors that a very important station was in jeopardy, and its chief, Mr. Kurtz, was ill.

I noticed there was a hole in the bottom of his pail.

There was no hurry.

The business intrusted to this fellow was the making of bricks – so I had been informed; but there wasn't a fragment of a brick anywhere in the station, and he had been there more than a year – waiting.

There was an air of plotting about that station, but nothing came of it, of course.

there is something after all in the world allowing one man to steal a horse while another must not look at a halter.

But there is a way of looking at a halter that would provoke the most charitable of saints into a kick.

There are several reasons for this.

No one is left out; there are clear references to women, for example.

In the first place, there are the creators.

There are no clearly defined rules governing the sharing of responsibility.

There is a proper balanced way to achieve the rights that everybody here wants to see.

There are some very clear examples of this in the recitals.

At any rate, there is still quite a lot of circumvention and evasion in this area by the Member States.

We know that there are boats plying between Morocco and Spain and Gibraltar, and that the different authorities concerned are cooperating fully.

I understand from sources in the Scottish industry that there is a major company involved in Norway at the moment.

Then there is the famous project No-8 of the 14 very important projects endorsed by the Essen summit.

There is much talk of privatisation and liberalisation.

But there are a few facts that we must face.

There are a number of key points that I would like to address before concluding.

They were standing at the door of Mweta's taxi; there was a sudden uprush of feeling between the two men; the Englishman stood there, the small, quick black man took him by the biceps, hard, through his dark suit, as in his own country he would have linked fingers with a brother.

It was their owl, a youngster who had hatched out down in the field and was heard every night.

It was night in Europe all the way.

He walked around to ease the cramp in his knees but there was a small circumference and within a few strides one found oneself back again at the shop, before which women and child passengers were drawn to gaze at embroidered aprons and evzone dolls.

Winter and darkness here but in Cambridge, perhaps, there's already spring yelling its head off?

There was no air at all in the living-room, and a strong smell of hot fat.

There was another large meal, and an exchange about a bottle of white wine between Dando and his cook, Festus.

In bush stations there wasn't anything we weren't responsible for.

But now people have to learn that there's a Department of Public Health to go to.

He ate a mouthful of the left-over granadilla pudding, and there was the smallest tremor, passing for a moment through his head.

There was a moment in the stadium at the actual Independence ceremony when he heard it on the perimeter of the sky just as Kenyatta began to speak, and he and Vivien Bayley, the young wife of the registrar of the new university, sitting beside him, collided glances of alert apprehension...

After the State Ball there was a private all-night party in a marquee.

If you want to hear how much ugliness there is – yes.

There was a group in loud discussion round the empty fireplace where the beer bottles were stacked...

I'm sorry, forty-eight years you were under British rule, digging their mines, building roads for them, making towns, living in shanties and waiting on them, cleaning up after them, treated like dirt... now it's all over, you really think there was any way at all you could enter the modern world without suffering?

You think there was someone else would have given you the alphabet! and electricity and killed off the malaria mosquito, just for love?

But it always comes down to the same thing: you Europeans talk very reasonably about that sort of suffering because you don't know... you may have thought it was terrible, but there's nothing like that in your lives.

While Bray was standing about in the group with the Odaras and the Wentzes, Jo-Ann Pettigrew, having failed to get him to eat her last marshmallow, put it in her mouth and signalled to everyone there was something they must hear.

There was a roar again.

Neil stood on the moonlit patch of earth in front of the dark building and called up, but there was no response.

Harry listened anxiously, but there was no sound from the Dursleys bedroom.

I mean, there's only so many times you can polish a prefect badge.

There was a scrubbed wooden table and chairs in the middle and Harry sat down on the edge of his seat, looking around.

At that moment, there was a diversion in the form of a small, red-headed figure in a long nightdress, who appeared in the kitchen, gave a small squeal, and ran out again.

There was a very small pile of silver Sickles inside, and just one gold Galleon.

He wondered if the young Auster had been any better at it than he was.

A beautiful spring light shone on the cobblestones, flowers of many colors stood in window boxes along the house fronts, and far down at the end of the street was the ocean, with its white waves and blue, blue water.

He was about to tell her who he was, but then he realized that it made no difference.

For five years he had kept William Wilson's identity a secret, and he wasn't about to give it away now, least of all to an imbecile stranger.

The Russians are in disarray, perhaps in retreat.

And there we are, Kissinger has entirely wrecked Russia's Middle East policy and the Pope is about to swap the Vatican for the Kremlin.

If I were, said I, I wouldn't be talking like this with you.

I was recently in Poland for the Joint Parliamentary Committee.

I am all for thought being given to this and for seeking solutions.

Edward Shinza's one of the few who did his stretch and got his head split open that time by Her Majesty's brave boys, and where's he... back in the Bashi Flats among his old wives, for all I know, no one even mentions his name.

Nobody gives a damn where he is.

But he is in town, now?

Yes, lovely creature, isn't she?

Bray asked everywhere about Edward Shinza; certainly he was not in evidence at any official occasion.

He's back! said George.

No doubt he was; but he had been a couple of years already out there engaged in the noble cause, you know, and he probably felt the need at last of asserting his self-respect in some way.

He was five feet six, I should judge, and had his grip on the handle-end of ever so many millions.

These are concentrated rays, but they do not penetrate down to where we usually are.

I was.

Perhaps I was still there then?

Wish I knew what he was up to, said Fred, frowning.

It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not.

By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal, and it no longer mattered where he was.

On his best walks, he was able to feel that he was nowhere.

At Madison Avenue he turned right and went south for a block, then turned left and saw where he was.

No more than a general impression – even though he was there, looking at those things with his own eyes.

He could see him sitting in the chair across from him, but at the same time it felt as though he was not there.

Stillman never seemed to be going anywhere in particular, nor did he seem to know where he was.

This meant that he was constantly in danger of quickening his pace and crashing into Stillman from behind.

If this man was as good a detective as the Stillmans thought he was, perhaps he would be able to help with the case.

The spell was over, and yet his body did not know it.

In that one brief moment he knew that he was in trouble.

Not only had he been sent back to the beginning, he was now before the beginning, and so far before the beginning that it was worse than any end he could imagine.

And so he is.

Stendhal's heroes, when they are in prison, choose to think above love.

He has returned from a voyage, he is out in the sun shining from the hills of Moab, he is drinking aquavit with a dear friend, looking over at Mount Zion.

He was of middle size and of ordinary build.

It was unconscious, this smile was, though just after he had said something it got intensified for an instant.

He was, he said, 'very, very uneasy. '

I wonder whether they are in the debate this evening.

It may seem that the common agricultural policy or the trans-European transport network are higher priorities, but they are not.

We therefore had to meet these two fundamental objectives and I sincerely believe that we are close to achieving this.

he knew at once where he was.

A few days ago he was in that house, packing to leave in the flat progression of practical matters by which decision is broken up into reality.

And they were only two-hours-and-a-bit from London, their daughters and their friends.

she was of the generation and class that paid other women to knit and now that she herself was about to be a grandmother she made funny stuffed toys for nieces and nephews.

The house they had bought, filled with possessions that had been stored all the years they were in Africa, the garden they had made, spoke for them.

There he is, she said.

He knew no one but the walk was processional, a reception to him, and by the time he entered the building over the steps where, as always, dead insects fallen from the light during the night had not been swept away, it was all as suddenly familiar and ordinary as the faces other people were greeting were, to them.

Only the man with the flowered sponge-bag, as if unaware of this useful convention, insisted on a Here we are again smile.

I met Gwenzi's brother in London one day while he was at Gray's Inn;

What if Shinza should make a bit of trouble at the next elections, what if he were to feel himself bloody well discounted as he certainly is, and start up a real opposition with all the tricks that he taught PIP, eh?

Tindi Kente is a wonderful dancer, wonderful, isn't she... just like a snake brought out by music, and sometimes he'll try with her.

The young man said he was in broadcasting now, so-called assistant to the Director of English Language Services.

Well, perhaps I am, then.

As a matter of fact, he was as not normal as it is possible to be.

All three of Mrs Weasley's sons were taller than she was, but they cowered as her rage broke over them.

He was quite alone, but where he was, he had no idea.

An old wooden street sign hanging over a shop selling poisonous candles told him he was in Knockturn Alley.
